What do you do with all the buttonholer attachments that often come with. Somebody show us your displays we need ideas!
I don't have a display either. I have a 15-91, a 99, a 1903 127 all in cabinets in the rec room plus my MIL's treadle that we are currently restoring. Upstairs in the sewing room, I have a Spartan in a cabinet, a mocha 301, a black 301 , a centennial 15-91, a Fashion mate, a 15-91, all in cases. In the dining room where I sew, I have a 15-91 and a 201 both in cabinets. I have a centennial 201 in a case and I have the Singer 160. I also have the brother CS6000i and my precious little featherweight. I also have my very first sewing machine which is the Japanese made Universal. I use most of these on a regular basis. I haven't mastered the 1903 as it has the bullet bobbin and of course we are working on the treadle. I just keep thinking I need to get rid of some of these but I just love them all. I find them at estate sales and yard sales at very good prices so they are hard to part with, but I might be considered a "hoarder" in the sewing machine dept.
